No way, I love people running Levi EX and Mog EX that were completely unable to complete the previous EX primals. It's not bad enough that the mounts are 1%, I have to go find people who want to run them nonstop in order to even win because if you try to DF this nonsense it's fail city because no one on earth knows how to play a video game. Clearly it's imperative to get these folks access to more content so as to guarantee nothing is possible in DF ever because you keep getting matched in DF with people who either don't know mechanics or dps in i100 gear as if they're i55. Totes legit, cool dudes.

Long story short, if you can't beat old content with vastly superior gear to what was available when it was current (since there's always new super high level welfare gear, like soldiery gear currently), you really have no business being in new content.
